Color Squared
Color Squared is out now on Clarkson Potter / Penguin Random House! Grab it from your favorite online bookseller or call your local bookstore to have them order you a copy!!Read the blog post! Rate/review it on Amazon! See and use #colorsquared on Instagram!
Paint-by-number meets 8-bit graphics meets the traditional coloring book in this brand new format that showcases pixelated photographic images of cool and quirky nostalgia objects. Doodlers, artists, and puzzlers alike will enjoy this new take on coloring.With a focus on old favorites, pictures of things like cassette tapes, a rotary phone, and roller skates have been pixelated and rendered as numbered grids. To fill them in, users have options to vary the colors, just vary the shading, or even use different shapes or lines. You don't even have to use color if you don't want to!
Color Squared can relieve stress or challenge the mind, depending on the approach the reader chooses; but either way, it will keep the head and hands busy, and make for a fun trip down memory lane. The images you see here show just some of the different ways you could color the same picture. There are 50 images, and they can all be colored any way you like!They are on tear-out pages, with answer key pictures on the back of each page. The book includes illustrated instructions for the many methods, example images for each, and some practice mini-grids.

About Me
I used to be a full-time knitting pattern designer (& teacher, freelance writer, etc); I went back to school for graphic design in my mid-30s, 2016-18. Then I worked as a graphic designer of knitting pattern books, tying it all together, from late 2018 through mid-2024. Now I'm back to a mash-up of selling knitting patterns and other things, freelancing, and we'll see what comes next! I still absolutely love book design so I'm hoping to do more of that in the future!

I believe that Black lives matter and that trans rights are human rights and that and that Palestine should be free and that EVERYONE deserves food and shelter and healthcare and safety and that mass incarceration is reprehensible and that police should be extremely defunded and eventually abolished and replaced with systems that are best for people. I believe human lives are more important than windows. I want everyone to be OK, now and into the future. Capitalism very much prevents that from being possible.I believe individual acts like choosing to sew our own clothes, mend the things we already have, shop at thrift stores and avoid fast fashion, etc, are not enough in the big picture, but are meaningful ways we can improve our own lives in our own ways and work together towards a better future. From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.
If you want to see things I sew or cook, follow me on instagram. There are other things over there too, but mostly sewing and food these days, sometimes knitting, sometimes gardening.If you want to read my thoughts (and lots of retweets of other people's thoughts) follow me on twitter.On YouTube, you'll just find my old knitting tutorials and some fun Color Squared videos, but maybe someday I'll post other things there!I have an old blog (started way back in 2007) that I moved to a new domain in 2023 and am working on getting back up and running with new posts...I'm somewhat active on Letterboxd if you're into that kind of thing!
